Factoryville SCTP Late Shoot

Published on July 1st, 2013

I just received an email from the Factoryville Sportsmen’s Club coach inviting Mason-Dixon to their SCTP Late Shoot on August 10th. The cost will be $43.00 for 100 registered birds with lunch and team awards. Factoryville is a little over 3 hours north east of us. Sounds like a great opportunity for you to get an advance look at the course where the SCTP States will be held in 2014. I’m not able to make the shoot but I thought I would send it out to the group to see if anyone wanted to go. If we have enough interest, and since I’m not able to attend, I would need someone to act as our SCTP coach. It’s not a big deal and would be happy to discuss what that involves with anyone interested. Sorry for the short notice but I need to have your decision no later the July 12th.

I found this on a Coaches website and thought it an excellent read… what do you think?

HAVE A BIG ENOUGH DREAM
Athletes who are most successful start to train with a dream in mind. They have a specific, long-term goal that is personally meaningful to them. They nurture their dream nightly by vividly imagining themselves living it, performing that way and reaching that goal. Their big dream drives them to get up early, train hard and push through setbacks, obstacles and failure. Having a big dream will give a direction to your training. It will keep you motivated and focused. Without an emotionally compelling goal to drive you, it's easy to get lost and lose interest. Your big dream should belong to YOU and no one else! In other words, you should go after that goal for you, not for your coach, parents or teammates. You should get in the habit of taking your big goal with you every day to practice. This will keep you focused, give you a purpose and help you get the most out of each training session! Before each practice you want to ask yourself, how is what I'm going to do today going to help me get closer to my big dream? By doing this you won't get caught in the trap that most athletes fall into of complaining about practice. (I hate this drill Coach! Why do we have to do this?) If you have a big, personally meaningful goal, then you will take responsibility for making your practice a good one, regardless of the way the coaches run the training. ... See more
